Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3369329A2] An electronic cigarette includes: an atomizer (10), defining a liquid storage chamber (101) formed therein; a heating element (11), communicated with the liquid storage chamber; a power supply (12), configured for supplying power; a controlling unit (13), one end of the controlling unit electrically connected with the power supply, the other end thereof electrically connected with the heating element; and a capacitive transducer (14) electrically connected with the controlling unit. Two electrodes are disposed inside the liquid storage chamber for determining an amount of the tobacco liquid in the liquid storage chamber. A using method includes: conducting the electricity and controlling the heating element to atomize the tobacco liquid in the liquid storage chamber; detecting an amount of the tobacco liquid in the liquid storage chamber via the capacitive transducer. When the detected amount of the tobacco liquid reaches a preset value, the electronic cigarette emits alert information or cuts off the electricity.
